New job (๐ŸŽ‰), they make me choose working on windows or mac. Linux is not an option sadly, I hate windows but never used mac. What should I choose? (thelemmy.club)

I got no idea what you do, which makes most analysis questionable, but Mac (unix) is like 90% Linux (for the layman at least).

    Crazy they won't let you use Linux for that. Just IT being lazy (I'm IT). Get Windows, then boot it up with a Linux distro on a flash drive with persistent storage!
